Scientists begin 3D Titanic map mission

A team will be using cutting-edge robots and sonar technologies to "virtually
raise" the sunken transatlantic liner for the first time.

The Titanic, a luxury passenger ship once said to be unsinkable, was the world's biggest passenger liner when it left Southampton for New York on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912.

The ship hit an iceberg and sank four days into the trip, taking more than 1,500 passengers with it. It was discovered in 1985 by a team of US scientists led by oceanographer Robert Ballard, hundred miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
